A new book highlights Le Corbusier's secret passion for photography

LC Foto, a book released by Lars Müller Publishers, is an archive of the architect's photos taken in secret, given that he publicly stated that he saw little value in photography. Between 1907 and 1917 alone, Le Corbusier took almost 6,000 photographs, bringing his cameras on trips to Istanbul, Brazil and the cargo ships which inspired much of his theories on modern architecture.
